Although for a long while did not use a case, I finally gave in and got one. It does add a bit of weight which is noticeable if you have you used your phone for some time without a case. Now I am sure there is no problem plugging a headphone jack into the phone. Yet, when I tried to use my phone as an auxiliary device for my car radio, the cut out for the speaker port was too small for that cable. Even another cable I had where the end above the jack was 1/4" in diameter did not fit. I did find a stereo cable which did fit. But that is my reason for rating it a 4.

try something else

Thin, sleek, clean looking, snug fit

Slippery feel and WILL FALL APART!

At first great (see pros) then after 3 months of use (see cons)! The latching system for connecting the two pieces of casing are poorly designed. THEY DONT LATCH. Constantly the battery-cover casing falls off into my pocket I told Seidio about it and wanted to upgrade to the Active but basically they said I am stuck with this POS and I am SOL. And based on my experience with customer service and lack of any SATISFACTION GUARANTEE for their customers..Dont buy not recommended.AVOID SEIDO Take my word!
